As a Power Systems Architect (Owner’s Engineer Lead), you will own the end-to-end architectural vision, systems strategy, and technical standards for electrical power delivery from grid through onsite generation to data center. Operating at a principal architect/VP-equivalent individual contributor level, you will serve as the final technical authority for high-voltage transmission, substations, interconnection, and site power integration across our global infrastructure portfolio. This role sets the technical and compliance direction, oversees execution, and ensures our design philosophy delivers unmatched performance, resiliency, and cost efficiency—without direct people management responsibility.
The successful candidate will have a history of driving technical strategy, functional direction, and architecture for large-scale data center infrastructure, engineering systems, and global standards. This person will have demonstrated strategic-level engineering work beyond assigned requirements or site-level execution, with evidence of creating or influencing standards that improved consistency, scalability, reliability, cost, or operational performance across multiple sites or regions. This position requires:
Extensive experience with power system simulation and analysis tools (e.g., PSCAD, ETAP, PSS/E, DigSILENT, ASPEN).
Experience integrating generation, substation, BESS, and microgrid for mission critical (data centers, campuses, industrial) power delivery.
Internal Responsibilities
Power Systems Strategy & Architecture
Define, document, and continually refine system-level architectures governing grid interconnection, substations (AIS/GIS), generation, BESS, and power delivery to mission critical facilities.
Set and approve operating philosophies, including grid dependency, onsite generation, export capability, and black-start/islanding readiness.
Own architectural decisions across all high, medium, and low voltage systems, including single-line diagrams and revision control.
Utility Engagement & Grid Interconnection
Lead and approve all major system engineering studies (load flow, short-circuit, harmonics, protection, dynamic performance).
System Quality, Testing, & Compliance
Chair architectural design reviews; resolve system-level tradeoffs between generation, substations, storage, and controls.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Delivery
Collaborate with engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations teams to ensure system deliverability, maintainability, and lifecycle cost efficiency.
External Responsibilities
Power Systems Strategy & Architecture
Define, document, and continually refine system-level architectures governing grid interconnection, substations (AIS/GIS), generation, BESS, and power delivery to mission critical facilities.
